Day 1 Theme & Giveaway: Scrapbook Paper
Filed under Cat's Away... 2012, Giveaways, Sale
)
I hope you stayed warm and dry on Christmas and had lots of yummy food with loved ones. (And I don’t know much about tornadoes as I’m from California, but isn’t this the wrong time of year?!)
And in case Santa didn’t bring you your heart’s desire (or if you’re just looking for a good deal in prep for 2013 projects)… It’s the first day of this week of While the Cat’s Away Giveaways! And today ALL scrapbook paper (including sets and paper pads) are on sale for 40% off! Really… that’s a steal! Here are links to all 3 sections on sale:
Scrapbook Paper: Christmas (Single Sheets & Sets)
Scrapbook Paper: Single Sheets
Scrapbook Paper Sets
And I’ve gathered a few papers that were about to sell out and put together a Giveaway! Sorry, none of the scrapbook papers in today’s Giveaway are still in stock. (Ok… one of these is still available (in limited quantities), I’m including a sheet that had a boo-boo: Communique: Shutter Speed.)
Plus I’ve included 4 collage sheets picked out to work with the themes and colors in today’s paper bounty:
Mad Hatters Teaparty #2 Collage Sheet
Game Spinners Collage Sheet
Art Deco Cocktails Collage Sheet
Art Deco Luggage Labels Collage Sheet
)
)
Here’s how these While the Cat’s Away DAILY Sales and Giveaways will work: I’ve gathered items around a theme (related to whatever’s on sale today) and put together a Giveaway Kit that will be awarded to one lucky person (click on all 3 photos at right to see even more of the Scrapbook Paper Giveaway Kit).
To enter the Scrapbook Paper Giveaway drawing all you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post (don’t forget to leave your email address, too, so I can contact the winner; note, your email address does not need to be made public). Please be patient! Spammers try to post crap here a lot so comments are moderated. So if you don’t see your post in the comments section, be patient and check back in a few hours before re-posting it, please!
After midnight I’ll randomly pick the previous day’s winner (via Random.org). So make sure to check back tomorrow to see who won and to see what’s on offer for Day 2 of the Sales & Giveaways!
More info on the Holiday Closure & Giveaway Rules (including how you can get entered twice in each day’s drawing).
And please remember: Our offices are now closed. The whole “While the Cat’s Away” theme is ’cause I’m the only one here! For more info about shipping (which will start when the staff are all back on 1/2/13) and the sale in general, please see the While the Cat’s Away…” Daily Giveaways: Year 5! overview page.
A final note: Even though our offices are closed, DIGITAL Collage Sheet orders are still fulfilled in real time!

Finally! A moment for me- I thought about each and everyone then made lists and searched- how I did run. I shopped neighborhood, the malls and cybershopped. Then wrapped and ribboned and labeled nonstop. I gathered and preped and cooked and baked. I straightened and cleaned and washed to no end – just to repeat it all once again. There were smiles and full bellies and warm hugs for all but now is my turn- Alpha Stamps you’re a doll!!
I would be ever so happy to win this giveaway! or any for that matter!
Thanks for a fun year of swaps and never ending great supply of cool items in your stock, and of course your super packing & speedy shipping of my treasures!
